EDD016 NO DATA

[BobFroeh]

Got a EDD016, is it ok to go ahead and do 143 backup? Or will bad data be there? Not sure were data is written to.

Thanks

Directly from the NTP's,

EDD0016 Incorrect data. Dump is inhibited to prevent writing bad data to storage
medium.
Action: Investigate and clear any SYSxxx messages which may appear
concurrently with this message, then attempt to datadump onto a second copy of
the Storage medium.
If EDD016 is printed again, enter the EDD CLR command, then reload from the
new copy to check that data is now valid. If this is done after a reload, the only
further cause would be CED203.
On dual-memory machines, the indicated memory pack should be retested and
reenabled (data will be copied from the other memory). If this fails again (or for
single memory machines), use EDD CLR to dump data to a second copy of the
storage medium, then reload and check any SYS or INI errors for possible data
corruption.
Severity: Critical. Critical to Monitor: Yes. SNMP trap: Yes

Well, 2nd copy of storage? What is that will I pick the medium?

Thanks

Not sure I understand your question. What is it you are doing in LD 143? Last time I checked LD 43 was for data dumps. LD 143 is for Attended back ups and other things. Ld 43 is what you would normally use. More than likely the EDD CLR trick will work for you. There is definitely something it isn't happy about though. Some times a sysload can clear this up too.

KCFLHRC, what I am thinking about is 143 to save good data, then if I need to use it for backup. If I can?

Thanks

I would just do the EDD CLR in LD 43. Never had any issues using this. But it would be nice to make sure that the thing will do a clean sysload too.

Just had the same issue. used the EDD CLR. Lets hope it doesnt come back to haunt me..LOL

I had a Nortel guy come out and got into PDT to clear.. Still working..
